GRANTS, WITH A GAME PLAN
Funding is critical to every project, especially as communities work to stretch limited local revenues.
That challenge has shaped our approach for decades. Wade Trim has helped public sector clients secure more than $1.7 billion in grants, legislative appropriations, and other public and private funding for infrastructure, community development, and economic development projects.
This track record reflects our ability to navigate complex funding programs, anticipate changing priorities, and work effectively with agency staff to develop clear, competitive applications.
DRIVEN BY STRATEGY
FundingScout is Wade Trim’s structured funding service, with a record of securing $245 million for clients since its inception in 2021. Rather than waiting for grant notices to appear, our team monitors early signals such as budgets, legislation, rulemaking, and program guidance to help clients prepare projects well in advance of application deadlines.
FundingScout helps connect community goals and capital needs with the right funding opportunities and provides practical, hands on guidance to pursue, secure, and manage external funding.
FLEXIBLE SUPPORT BUILT AROUND CLIENT NEEDS
Our team provides reliable, responsive, and tailored support. FundingScout services are scalable, whether clients are looking for help with a single grant, periodic advising, or ongoing funding strategy alongside engineering, planning, and design services.
Our goal is to deliver at least $10 in grant funding for every $1 invested in FundingScout, a benchmark our clients consistently meet or exceed.

Our services are crafted to fit the needs and capacity of each client we serve. We are available to help work on specific projects on an as-needed basis. For those seeking our full range of funding assistance, FundingScout provides the best value and level of service.
